Institutional investors: Scott can only see so many institutional investors. Such 'institutionals' are comprised not only of mutual funds, but also pension funds, banks, brokerage houses and the like. A great majority of them are drawn to a stock with a STORY. If that story is confined to a thread somewhere and doesn't get into the mainstream press, that stock remains in limbo. There are thousands of stocks out there vying for the attentions of the institutions. Don't underestimate the impact of such stories...they can bring a ton of buyers into an issue. Because TAVA traded under 10 for so long, it hasn't been on a number of institutional radar screens. Some will automatically kick in over 10, some will not. Cheryl's Fortune magazine story is a good example of the type of coverage TAVA needs. Do not rest on your laurels. Most people on this thread, especially the long termers know and love this stock, but institutions are not part of this thread. They DON'T know and love TAVA. Institutions have the same herd mentality as individual investors. A friend of mine served as a major pension fund investor and used to pour over assorted press reports and technical publications to steer him in the direction of his next purchases. We have a real beauty here. No need for hysteria, just an objective assessment on how to keep this thing uptrending.
